As I listened

After Nehemiah 8:1-18

As I listened to the words

read by the priest

I could see the wall

rebuilt around us

the wall we had

rebuilt around us

The priest read the words

to rebuild our hearts

rebuild my heart

like the wall around us

We are together again

our hearts are together again

we rebuild

we restore

we are restored.
